Improve PWA capabilities #630

Closed hugo-vrijswijk closed 4 months ago

Improves the manifest.json to make the app installable on devices.

Application is now "installable" and recognized as a PWA
Shortcuts are added for common actions (if there's more that should be added, feel free to mention them)
Add a share_target that allows sharing links to linkding when the PWA is installed (this works really well!)
Updates and adds icons to improve installability on devices. Such as multiple sizes and "maskable" icons for dynamic icons on Android (that have a custom shape)
Add application screenshot to the manifest.json so (on desktop) users will see a preview of the app when installing it

@sissbruecker could you take a look at this? :)

I'm still not getting this on Firefox, only the standard "Add to Home Screen". Are other people getting Install in the menu or Is it just a quirk of my install? I'm on Nightly.

I do get "Install" as an option on Firefox Android. Though I've installed it via Chrome because only Chrome supports the share target and shortcuts

I can confirm this, works on Android (14) with Firefox and Chrome

Edit: I double checked, it works an "normal" Firefox, Firefox nightly does not show me an install option as well @dahamsta

Just occurred to me to test in standard Firefox, Install appears there but still not in Nightly, even with all extensions disabled. Would someone mind confirming please?
